Next year SA (Brazil and Argentina) will replace the US as the #1 soybean grower.


We know the final result is less land use. The US proves it. What is happening is the old economic story of labor and capital. Whichever is cheaper will be used. Right now the 3rd world has cheap labor and no capital. Their only way out is agriculture and labor intensive light industry. The Econuts scream "environment" and "sweatshops."

Their Governments are still so screwed up that no one will put much capital in there under "free" conditions.
